So... just to make sure I understand this properly the pioneer infected Prof. Ragna with Honkai because he knew Bianka would continue to draw support and reinforced conviction from continued interaction with her?
@Krune Not quite sure about conviction since as she said, Bianca would probably still continue to pursue the cure for the Honkai disease regardless without giving up but support? Most likely and even more so since Rita is also not around anymore. Even in the real world, the main inspiration for her to become Valkyrie is Ragna too.
